These two hats are made from the same three colors, mixing and matching to make the most of three skeins of yarn.

This hat is knit with 3 colors of fingering or DK weight yarn and makes a good project for someone new to stranded knitting. One color is the background, the other two alternate as pattern. It could also be knit with only two colors (one pattern, one background) or more by adding pattern and/or background colors.

This pattern (created in collaboration with Teri Neil of Elusive Designs, LLC and Tempe Yarn & Fiber in Tempe, AZ) gives options allowing the knitter to design a unique stocking using a variety of patterns to work into the different parts of the stocking and instructions for using several choices for type of needle.

These fingerless gloves are knit in the round on a 16” circular needle with steeks dividing them, then cut apart and finished with a button band. They are a good way to gain experience with steeks on a small project.
